…promises grassroot governance.

The Member representing Etinan/Nsit Ibom/ Nsit Ubium Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Mr. Onofiok Luke Wednesday led the Amazing Grace Campaign Team to the Akwa Ibom Traditional Rulers Council at Wellington Bassey Way, Uyo to seek royal blessing from the Royal Fathers to help him succeed in his governorship ambition in next year’s election.

Luke was accompanied to the TRC by the Director General of his campaign, Mr Imo Udo and other members of the team.

He told the Royal Fathers that he did not fail the State during his tenure as the Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly.

The Governorship aspirant noted that when he was appointed as the chairman of the Proclamation and Coronation of the Oku Ibom Ibibio, he executed the duties creditably to the glory of God without failure.

Luke said he has never been found wanting in the delivery of his assigned responsibility for the growth and development of Akwa Ibom.

The National Assembly member maintained that he has understudied three administrations since the fourth republic and he is well grounded to occupy the Hiltop Mansion come 2023.

Luke stated that as a member of the Constitutional Amendment Committee, he had advocated that the traditional institution be given premium to strethen it to perform optimally.

The Governorship aspirant who said he will run on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, promised to take governance to the grassroots and ensure that the Akwa Ibom under him will create the platform to build together and grow together when given the mandate.

The Paramount Ruler of Udung Uko, Ovong Bassey Etim Edet and that of Ikot Ekpene, Okuku Okon Ukut extolled the outspokenness of the aspirant referring to him as an experienced young man with good intention for the State.

The President General, Akwa Ibom State Traditional Rulers Council, Ntenyin Solomon Etuk who is also the Oku Ibom Ibibio advised all aspirants to toe the path of peace and mutual coexistence in the State and described Luke as a peaceful man.

Luke also consulted the PDP Delegates in Ibesikpo Asutan Local Government Area where he solicited maximum support for his aspiration.

The PDP Chapter chairman for Ibesikpo Asutan, Mr Uwem Etim in his response said he admired the leadership style of Mr Luke and prayed God to see him through to the end of his project.
